The National Lacrosse League announced Thursday that the league
has reached an agreement with VERSUS to air nine games during the
2011 season. The national television package will feature
regular-season and playoff games, culminating with the NLL
Championship Game. The broadcast schedule will begin with the live
telecast of the 2011 All-Star Game on Feb. 27 at 2 p.m. Eastern.
The full broadcast schedule will be announced at a later date.

"Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport and the NLL features the
most talented, toughest lacrosse players in the world. VERSUS is
the perfect broadcast partner for us to showcase our dynamic league
to a national audience," said NLL Commissioner George Daniel.

"We are very excited to announce this new partnership with the
National Lacrosse League and to be able to televise this fast
growing sport on one of the fastest growing sports cable networks
in the country," said Jeff Goldberg, Vice President of Programming
for VERSUS.

sponsorship matters, negotiated the agreement on behalf of the
league.
